To me, if what most people believe about theology is true, then this God that they love is a disgusting psychopath and there's no other responsible determination that anyone can ever make about such a loathsome beast.
Damn, if this is true, then sign me up for hell right now. I refuse to share eternity with a disgraceful vile entity like that in charge. I'd rather burn forever.

What saddens me is hear people say they've "got it" and other people "don't get it" and aren't "awake." I'm not that egotistical. I don't pretend to have "gotten it," and I also suspect that the conclusions I've come to about the structure of the universe are probably different than the actual structure of the universe. In other words, odds are I'm wrong about a lot of stuff and if I turn out to be correct, I will be the most surprised of anyone.
So my question to those who believe they "get it" is, how do you know? Did your Mommy tell you? What is it about you that makes you think you've "awakened" to reality while the majority of the rest of the people have not? Why are you so special? What makes you enlightened? The fact that you're here on ATS bragging on yourself makes me think you don't "get it" at all. I know I don;t get it; I don't think you do either, and I'm certainly not going to sit at your feet and listen to you pratter away..

That is just it, you can't deny the feeling. This is the very reason why we have to learn to trust ourselves, the inner voice. Humans by nature are creatures of comfort, and change disrupts them, it is imperative that we learn to embrace it. We are all walking a different path to the same road, follow the "signs" and you will get to where you need to be going.

There are many paths to choose from, many ways to travel but they all still lead to the main road. How a person arrives at their destination is the variable. The road must be travelled to the end regardless of how many twists, turns and bumps we encounter. When we reach the crossroads on our paths we have choices this is where we can alter our course of direction, but it still does not change the destination point.
